Terrance

“Just… Make a ball of water.” Terrance mumbles. 

Nova looks at him confused and puts out her palm and the water starts to shape into a ball of water. “She has it.” 

Amir: I can’t go into detail Terrance. 

Terrance: Then don’t? Say anything!

“You sure I’m not gonna go full mermaid?” Nova says confused looking up at Terrance. “Pay attention it’ll spill” Cole snaps and she quickly looks up at him again. 

It’s been two weeks since Nova’s started using her powers. Only water control so far. 

“What do I do now?” Nova asks staring at him, “Uh... Terr?” Cole mumbles. 

Terrance: Dude you’ve been being weird all week? Just tell me what the hell’s going on

Amir: Terr I don’t have that much time

Amir: I’m not in danger so don’t go killing anyone

Amir: I can’t give details

Amir: And I’ll contact you when I can

“Uhm… Make a solid? Or something material?” Cole says slightly confused. “From water…” Nova glances at her palms and then at Cole. “Yeah? You can make material things…?” He shrugs and Nova nods slightly. 

Terrance: What the hell does that mean? 

Terrance: Amir

Terrance Amir? 

“Fuck!” Nova yells and Terrance hears a loud splash. He looks up at her and the spilled water confused. “How did you do that” Terrance says staring at her. “She said we could make material things…” Nova says tilting her head. “I made a purse… When I picked it up it popped.” Nova says quickly. 

Terrance snaps, drying everything and Nova scoffs staring up at him. 

“How’d you do that?” She signs quickly. “Uh… I dunno? I just think of what I want. And snap.” “Anything?” She asks confused and he nods.

“Well yeah?” “And do I have to concentrate about it?” “Uh…” Terrance shrugs and she looks at him confused. 

“Is that a yes… No…” She says slowly. And he nods, “Yes”

She nods slowly and snaps before quickly turning around to Cole. “Nova?” He looks over her shoulder before quickly turning her. “Who’s cat is that.” He says seriously. “Why do you think I took someone’s cat?” “Did you.” “Yes. But why would you assume that’s what I did?” She asks confused. 

Update… It’s now water control and teleportation. 

Cole shrugs petting the cat, “it’s cute though? Can we keep them?” “Don’t encourage her?” He mumbles, “Snap it back.” “No…” She says slowly still petting the cat. “Actually? I want to switch the subject.” “Really?” He says annoyed. 

“You were thirteen… How many years ago?” “like 10?” He says, shrugging. “You were 14 11 years ago. And you decided not to tell us you got powers?” Terrance looks at her confused, “I didn’t get them at 14? I got them at like what… How old were you?” He looks at Cole. “Like 5?” He nods slightly. “So either around 3… Or I already had them when I was born.” 

“What?” She looks at them both confused. “Yeah? Your kinda late at everything…” Cole says earning a distasteful look from Terrance.“B-but everyone’s different.” She says quickly and Terrance snaps. “Hey!” She stares at the empty space where the cat once was before furrowing her brows. 

“What do we do now?” Cole asks cocking his head at Terrance. “Nothing.” Nova shrugs.

Cole scoffs, “Like hell we’re doing nothing? There’s a pretty obvious thing we have to do…” She stares at him and Nova looks at her confused, “You don't mean…” Nova signs, and Cole nods.

“We can’t just sit around pretending this isn’t happening Terr! We have to find mom?” He stares at him. 

“You don’t think I’ve been trying to find her?” Terrance asks confusedly and he shakes his head. “Honestly? I don’t. You’ve been distracted with getting custody an-”  

Terrance scoffs, “Distracted Cole? Really?” “Yeah…” She stares at him. “Well I’m sorry I’m the only one who adopting you was important to?” “Well was to me” Nova signs looking up at them. 

“You know that’s not what I meant…” She mumbles. “Really? Because you seem like you didn’t want me too?” He pauses. “You used to say you wanted me to adopt you so bad? And now you just seem mad I did.” 

“Of course I’m not mad you did” She says confused. “We hated living with Aunt Liza…” She mumbles. “But you-” “Don’t know what I’m doing?” He finishes and she looks at him confused. 

“You're the only one who feels that way…” Nova says quietly.

“I’m gonna go to bed?” She says annoyed before walking away. 

“Actually… You're right?” he looks at his empty wrist, “You should both be in bed.” Nova groans sligtly, “Goodnight to you too.” He ruffles her hair and shuts the door before looking back at his phone.
